The NationState of Arifiyyah is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 6.968 billion Arifians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medina Arif. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arifian economy, worth 957 trillion Ringgits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 137,397 Ringgits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political commentators say that Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, the stock market has been destroyed for its own protection, and the people's love for Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah is little more than self-preservation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arifiyyah's national animal is the Orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Arifiyyah is ranked 38,690th in the world and 263rd in the West Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,175.49919906892 days.
